(WARRENSBURG, MO – October 9, 2006)  This winter save your back with the ATV Universal Mounting System’s plow blade and dump bucket attachments. Swisher’s award-winning ATV Universal Mounting System, which includes a Universal Mounting Kit and a variety of attachments, can turn your ATV into a year-round work horse. The ATV Universal Mounting System is among the innovative solutions Swisher has developed to make all those tough chores around your property, construction site, or farm a breeze. These attachments are interchangeable and can be easily switched in seconds without the use of tools.

ATV Universal Mounting Kit:  Swisher’s unique, patent-pending Universal Mounting System attaches to the underside of virtually any ATV and runs the full length of your ATV for unparalleled strength and stability. The unique leaf spring design takes the weight off the front suspension, providing unmatched maneuverability and stability while carrying heavy loads¾this enables Swisher to make heavier and stronger attachments that can handle larger loads than the competition. The Universal Mounting Kit enables you to easily attach and detach the plow, bucket, forklift and other attachments in seconds without the use of tools.

ATV Plow Blade:  This rugged 50-inch, multi purpose plow is designed to cut a wide swath in even the most difficult jobs. The 1/8-inch corrugated steel plow delivers powerful snow breaking and terrain leveling capabilities, and its cutting edge is replaceable. The plow angle can be easily adjusted. The Plow Blade has a durable powder coat finish. The blade lifts with a winch or a manual lift, both of which are sold separately and available from Swisher.

ATV Dump Bucket:  The ATV Dump Bucket is constructed of heavy-duty steel and makes quick work of snow, dirt and gravel. Its 44-inch wide bucket is designed to cover the full width of most ATVs.  Rugged scoring teeth enable penetration of compacted soil and other materials.  The bucket is easily dumped by pulling a quick release lever, and raises high enough to dump the bucket on level ground. The Dump Bucket lifts with a winch available separately from Swisher.

Other Attachments Available:
ATV Power Broom:  Ideal for scrubbing dirt, snow, gravel or trash off hard surfaces, Swisher’s ATV Power Broom has a reinforced steel frame and durable powder coat finish. The impact resistant, high density polyethylene brush cover takes a beating and resists ice and snow build-up. The available 4-foot, 6.5 horsepower Power Broom comes with a manual start.
